YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
Do not use metal pans or dishes with metal
handles.
Do not use anything with metal trim.
Do not use paper covered wire twist-ties on
plastic bags.
Do not use melamine dishes as they contain a
material which will absorb microwave
energy.This m ay cause the dishes to crack or
char and will slow down the cooking speed.
Do not use Centura Tableware. The glaze is not
suitable for microwave use. Corelle Livingware
closed handle cups should not be used.
Do not cook in a container with a restricted
opening, such as a pop bottle or salad oil bottle,
as they may explode if heated in a microwave
oven.

specifically for microwave cooking. These may
be used.
10. Microwave utensils should be used only in
accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
11. Do not attempt to deep-fry foods in this oven.
12. Please remember that a microwave oven only
heats the liquid in a container rather than the
container itself. Therefore, even though the lid
of a container is not hot to the touch when
removed from the oven,
please remember that the food/liquid inside will
be releasing the same amount of steam and/or
spitting when the lid is removed as in
conventional cooking.
13. Always test the temperature of cooked food
yourself especially if you are heating or cooking
food/liquid for babies. It is advisable never to
consume food/liquid straight from the oven but
allow it to stand for a few minutes and stir food/
liquid to distribute heat evenly.
14. Food containing a mixture of fat and water, e.g.
stock, should stand for 30-60 seconds in the
oven after it has been turned off. This is to allow
the mixture to settle and to prevent bubbling
when a spoon is placed in the food/liquid or a
stock cube is added.
15. When preparing/cooking food/liquid and
remember that there are certain foods, e.g.
Christmas puddings, jam and mincemeat, which
heat up very quickly. When heating or cooking
foods with a high fat or sugar content do not use
plastic containers.
16. Cooking utensil may become hot because of
heat transferred from the heated food.This is
especially true if plastic wrap has been covering
the top and handles of the utensil. Potholders
may be needed to handle the utensil.
17.To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
(a)Do not overcook food. Carefully attend
microwave oven if paper, plastic, or other
combustible materials are placed inside the
oven to facilitate cooking.
(b) Remove wire twist-ties from bags before placing
bag in oven.
(c)If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep
oven door closed, turn the oven off at the wall
switch, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit
breaker panel.
